Epic Games’ RealityScan app now available for the iPhone and iPad, allows for easy creation of 3D models

Following up on our previous article from this past April, Epic Games has just released its RealityScan app, which allows users to scan objects and turn them into high-fidelity 3D models using their iPhone or iPad camera.

The app was built with technologies from Capturing Reality, a company specializing in photogrammetry solutions acquired by Epic Games in 2021. It allows users to photograph the object using their phone or tablet, and then the app does the rest to transform the images into a 3D model through cloud processing.

Once the capture is complete, the 3D object can be exported and uploaded to Sketchfab – a popular platform for publishing and discovering 3D, AR, and VR content. These models can be used for a variety of purposes, such as turning them into augmented reality objects or adding them to games with the Unreal Engine.

RealityScan is available for free on the App Store and requires an iPhone or iPad running iOS 16.0 or later. Epic Games has also stated that an Android version of the app is in the works, though no word has been given as to when it will be released.

If you have a chance to try RealityScan, please let us know about your experience in the comments.
